Hostapd / Macbook Pro 4-way handshake issue

[Michael Stevens]

Ta-Chien Lin sent us a link to a previous post at  
http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2006-May/013235.html. The patch there 
fixes the problem but it appears hostapd is correct in sending out both IEs 
according to Page 83/98 of the 802.11i spec.  
http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.11i-2004.pdf

Wireshark has a similar problem and does not decode the data field in all 
cases because of an incorrect conditional in epan/disectors/packet-eapol.c
